Dear Falls-Lenox Families,
February brings a lot of fun, including first grade celebrating the 101st day of school, Valentine's Day Parties, Random Acts of Kindness Day, Black History month, the 3rd grade music concert and the start of the Bulldogs on the Run Club for third graders (sign up below)! Please be sure to check out the information below for everything that is happening! Our new word of the month is Cooperation. We teach the students about the importance of working effectively and respectfully with diverse groups of peers.
Family Engagement: We are seeking input from our parents and guardians in regards to the kinds of programs and opportunities that you would like to see at Falls-Lenox. We are also requesting information on the time of day that you are most available to come into the school for a parent engagement opportunity. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey that is linked below. Your input is valuable, and we will be using it to develop further parent engagement opportunities this year and beyond. Our school would not be the same without the support of our families, THANK YOU for all you do!
